17 Pakistanis Killed in US Drone ‘Revenge’ Strike

Though there have surely been single strikes which netted a much larger death toll, like the June attack on a South Waziristan funeral, the United States today launched the single largest coordinated drone attack against a target inside Pakistan today.

Officials say that Deegan is considered a “Taliban stronghold,” but they have been unable to verify if any of the people killed in the attack were actually militants, or simply innocent villagers caught in the endless air war against North Waziristan.

The Pentagon is very good at creating still more terrorists. If they weren´t terrorists before, they surely are now thanks to the criminal and insane drone attacks. Obama is a war criminal. So, it seems they are right after all: United Bluff IS The Great Satan !

And you would have thought the suicide bomber who took out those CIA scum would have driven some "reality" into their pointy little heads but Nooooooo! You know what gets me… It's that you may be commuting home one day and parked next to you, bumper to bumper, is the dude responsible for killing these people and all he has to occupy his brain pan are thoughts of the game on the "toob" and making it on time for some fresh lasagna.

The people who control these drone attacks seem to be totally unaccountable for their action. They seem to be a mirror image of the Islamic militants themselves. They belong to the CIA plus Blackwater tribe who must take revenge for loss of their members instead of doing their job of helping stop terrorism. All they are doing is creating more terrorists by killing mostly innocent people which sparks desires for revenge.

Revenge killings as foreign policy. Just brilliant. After all, it's such a winning strategy for Israel against the Palestinians. Or the Sunnis and the Shi'ites. Or the Hutus and the Tutsis….

We desperately need to replace the power-mad adolescents running our country with a group of mature adults that can understand cause and effect. It would be refreshing if they had some knowledge about the limits of using brute military force, too. And would it be asking too much for them to, you know, follow the Constitution?
